The main types of plum trees:

• Homemade plum- deciduous cultivated fruit trees. The species appeared as a result of crossing cherry plum with blackthorn. Not found in the wild. The fruits are single-stony.

Self-fertile varieties are now very popular. Self-fertility is the ability of a culture to self-pollinate without the help of bees or the pollen of a related tree. The presence of pollinators on the site, in this case, is not necessary. But their presence, nevertheless, significantly contributes to increasing yields. Self-infertile plum - what does it mean? If the description of the variety indicates that it is self-fertile, this will mean that the culture practically does not bear fruit without pollen from neighboring trees and the participation of bees.

Self-fertile yellow plum (self-pollinated plum) is a special variety of high-yielding varieties with beautiful, sweet and juicy fruits. These plants are very promising. Plum yellow is a hybrid obtained from cultivated cherry plum and wild plum. Yellow-fruited varieties have a sweeter taste. Many consider them a kind of cherry plum, which can only be grown in regions with a mild warm climate. However, today, thanks to the achievements of breeding, there are many winter-hardy varieties on the market.
